One may say that the latest installment of The Fast And Furious franchise is ridiculous. I haven't watched it, but my friends tell me it's just ridiculous, like it's not even about street racing anymore. It's all explosions and shit.
But I get it. The movies are successful and they have an ensemble of stars backing it up. Studios are milking it.
I am referring to other movies that, from the title alone, are super ridiculous. I just stumbled upon Attack Of The Killer Donuts:
I am literally now, in the first few minutes of the movie. The protagonist was woken up by his mom for breakfast. He wakes up, greets "good morning beautiful" to a picture of a hot girl and kisses it. Then he goes down for breakfast and... the mom is super hot.
Haha.
I am really curious. Why are ridiculous movies like that made? I am guessing they cater to the audience who are looking "so bad that it's good" movies.
On some level though, is the writing actually good enough for a green light?
Something to think about!
Just a suggestion. When you post a link, make sure it prints in RED. That way you will get more responses

I love bad movies! Many times, they're just plain fun - far more entertaining than whatever epic tentpole is receiving Oscar accolades. I like good movies too, just for different reasons. :)
I guess it's good writing for comedies but not really anything else
Uncle Lloyd and those cats know what they're doing - not just anyone can make entertaining B-movies, even with decent budgets and talent. See Big Ass Spider...

One of my favorite Bruce Lee stories regards the Shaw Bros. (IF I remember it correctly). :D
Every one of the "B-movie" companies we've discussed in this thread have large enough catalogs to create their own streaming channels/apps. All but Shaw Bros. has one, as well as distribution deals with larger channels, and their titles still appear on cable occasionally.

These movies get made because they transfer in all languages. You could speak jibberish and be a drooling idiot with his cousin stupid standing nearby and understand it. Nothing against dumb people as I was stricken dumb at times in my life. People don't have to understand American culture to watch Sh*& blow up on TV and it transfer in all languages. Yes, mindless self-indulgence. It makes money! "Whose Got My Money?"! Hope you are all writing! Sending you all a kick in the pants! I do have a heavy foot, sorry! Get to work! Arse in Seat! Just did 3 hours! WOohoo! Good for you! Yes, thank you!
